3.2.1.1.

[F3In case of a natural gas/biomethane engine one of the following markings to be placed after the EC type-approval mark:

(a)

H in case of the engine being approved and calibrated for the H-range of gases;

(b)

L in case of the engine being approved and calibrated for the L-range of gases;

(c)

HL in case of the engine being approved and calibrated for both the H-range and L-range of gases;

(d)

H t in case of the engine being approved and calibrated for a specific gas composition in the H-range of gases and transformable to another specific gas in the H-range of gases by fine tuning of the engine fuelling;

(e)

L t in case of the engine being approved and calibrated for a specific gas composition in the L-range of gases and transformable to another specific gas in the L-range of gases after fine tuning of the engine fuelling;

(f)

HL t in the case of the engine being approved and calibrated for a specific gas composition in either the H-range or the L- range of gases and transformable to another specific gas in either the H-range or the L-range of gases by fine tuning of the engine fuelling;

(g)

CNG fr in all other cases where the engine is fuelled with CNG/biomethane and designed for operation on one restricted gas fuel range composition;

(h)

LNG fr in the cases where the engine is fuelled with LNG and designed for operation on one restricted gas fuel range composition;

(i)

LPG fr in the cases where the engine is fuelled with LPG and designed for operation on one restricted gas fuel range composition;

(j)

LNG 20 in case of the engine being approved and calibrated for a specific LNG composition resulting in a λ-shift factor not differing by more than 3 per cent the λ-shift factor of the G 20 gas specified in Annex IX, and the ethane content of which does not exceed 1,5 per cent;

(k)

LNG in case of the engine being approved and calibrated for any other LNG composition;

3.2.1.2.

For dual-fuel engines, the approval mark shall contain a series of digits after the national symbol, the purpose of which is to distinguish for which dual-fuel engine type and with which range of gases the approval has been granted. The series of digits will be constituted of two digits identifying the dual-fuel engine type as defined in Article 2, followed by the letter or letters specified in point 3.2.1.1 corresponding to the natural gas/biomethane composition used by the engine. The two digits identifying the dual- fuel engine types as defined in Article 2 are the following:

(a)

1A for dual-fuel engines of Type 1A;

(b)

1B for dual-fuel engines of Type 1B;

(c)

2A for dual-fuel engines of Type 2A;

(d)

2B for dual-fuel engines of Type 2B;

(e)

3B for dual-fuel engines of Type 3B;

3.2.1.3.

For diesel-fuelled CI engines, the approval mark shall contain the letter ‘ D ’ after the national symbol;

3.2.1.4.

For ethanol (ED95)-fuelled CI engines the approval mark shall contain the letters ‘ ED ’ after the national symbol;

3.2.1.5.

For ethanol (E85)-fuelled PI engines the approval mark shall contain ‘ E85 ’ after the national symbol;

3.2.1.6.

for petrol-fuelled PI engines the approval mark shall contain the letter ‘ P ’ after the national symbol.]

3.2.2.

[F1The EC type-approval mark shall also include in the vicinity of the rectangle the ‘ base approval number ’ contained in Section 4 of the type-approval number referred to in Annex VII to Directive 2007/46/EC, preceded by the letter indicating the emission stage for which the EC type-approval has been granted.

3.2.3.

The EC type-approval mark shall be affixed to the engine in such a way as to be indelible and clearly legible. It shall be visible when the engine is installed on the vehicle and shall be affixed to a part necessary for normal engine operation and not normally requiring replacement during engine life.

In addition to the marking on the engine, the EC approval mark may also be retrievable via the instrument cluster. It shall then be readily available for inspection and the access instructions included in the user manual of the vehicle.]

3.2.4.

Appendix 8 gives examples of the EC type-approval mark.
